Hi this is John with Designer Appliances.
Today we’re excited to give you a sneak peak of
the brand new cove line of dishwasher, the latest addition to the Sub Zero/Wolf family
of appliances.
We are also going to how Cove stacks up against other leading competitors.
At Designer Appliances, we understand your dishwasher is the hardest working appliance
in your kitchen, which is why we always on the
lookout for the latest and greatest when it comes to
high performance versus quality and price point.
Since SubZero, the leader in residential refrigeration acquired Wolf, the leader of cooking appliances,
they are a force to be reckoned with.
However, they have always been one step behind its competitors when it comes to
dishwashers - until now.
Set to release in April of 2019, cove dishwashers will be available with and
without water softener, and boast some compelling features that might be exactly what
you’re looking for.
With a price tag in the low $2,000 range, you may be
wondering how cove stacks up against other leading competitors.
In this video we've evaluated four components that we find most
important when purchasing a dishwasher: Quietness, design, cleaning and drying ability;
and reliability and longevity.
First, let’s talk about quietness.
Cove is ultra quiet at 42 decibel rating thanks to its 23 pounds of insulation material
used when manufacturing each unit.
Don’t understand decibel levels when it comes to dishwasher noise?
Check out our quietest dishwasher video at the link in the description
below.
Next up is design.
For the exterior, Cove can comes ready to accept cabinetry panels or if you're going
with a stainless steel look you can get an option panel and handle kit.
Cove hides its touch control system and the unit
sits flush with your cabinets to maintain the clean lines of your kitchen design.
When you open the door and reveal its interior, you’ll notice energy-efficient, bright LED
lights to make for easy visibility when loading and unloading your dishes.
Adjustable tines and racking are highlighted with light green
accents.
These adjustments ensure that all of your oddly shaped dishes, plates and glassware
sit firmly during all wash cycles.
There are two removable cutlery baskets on the bottom bin as well as a 3rd rack silverware
tray that can be adjusted if you need room for stemware or other tall glasses.
The 3rd rack is accompanied by a full length spray arm,
ensuring maximum cleaning coverage for your silverware.
Cove allows you to fit about 24 red wine glasses for those large dinner parties
thanks to its built in stemware holders and flexible cutlery tray.
Now let's talk about cleaning and drying ability.
If you’re living in new jersey like us, you probably know that hard water can be a
problem.
With Cove, the optional built-in water softener will make your dishes cleaner with little
to no spots but will also increase the units life
expectancy since calcium buildup would be non-existant.
Cove also has a hidden heating element and fan assist drying for plastics, which was
actually a chief complaint with competing European style dishwashers.
Cove has several wash and dry cycle options that allow you to clean
even the most crusty, baked-on dishes, with no
pre-rinsing needed.

Select the convenient sanitize option to get a NSF
grade clean.
Three spray arms and 43 jets provide powerful cleansing action, while a 4-stage filtration
system ensures that only clean water is washing your dishes.
Cove also meters the water intake to account for changes in pressure
during inflow, further ensuring optimal cleaning performance.
It also has 2 pumps and 2 motors to help separate water intake from
discharge, which helps with performance, longevity and ensures fresh water intake without
re-deposits.
And finally, reliability and longevity.
As with all SubZero/Wolf appliances, cove dishwashers are designed to last 20 years
which is about twice the life of your average dishwasher.
To ensure reliability, Cove engineers have stress tested
their designs simulating years of use.
Also, every major function of every completed product is tested before shipping.
As a safety measure, once you get the unit installed in your
home, there is a built-in leak detection system that shuts off water automatically to prevent
any damage to surrounding cabinets and floor if there's ever a leak.
Since Cove dishwashers are new to the market, they want you to feel confident that these
dishwashers are built to last, which is why Cove now offers an industry leading 5 year
warranty - 5 times the industry average.
If you use a factory certified install like Designer Appliances, you’ll get a one year
extension on your warranty for free, making it a total of 6
years.
So, how does cove stack up against its competition?
As far as customer feedback and performance, it might be too soon to tell
- but one things for sure, when you buy a Subzero
Wolf product, you know you are getting the best service and ultimate quality.
We are looking forward to hearing what our customers think
of this new addition and will keep you posted as more feedback is received.
We hope this video has been helpful.
